Pray for Seafarers
Prayer is at the centre of The Mission to Seafarers’ life and work. As seafarers face storms, isolation, personal and professional challenges, and time away from their families, the prayers of God’s people offer hope, strength and encouragement. MtS invites individuals, churches and prayer groups to stand with seafarers and with our port chaplains across the region. This page gathers resources to help you pray faithfully and specifically.
Prayer Diary
Join our global family in prayer
MtS issues a regular Prayer Diary that focuses on different regions, ports and ministries, helping our worldwide family to pray together for seafarers and those who serve them.
Stories and requests from European ports contribute to this global diary.
